Traditional styled paperweights date back to the popular French paperweights
Baccarat,Clichy and
St Louis during the 1850’s.
Paul Ysart developed these
traditional paperweights similar to French style in the late1920’s until he
retired. He would work in secrecy and only showed these techniques to 2 or 3
other glassmakers.
Peter Holmes who was Paul’s
apprentice during the 60’s is now producing traditional styled paperweights
using the skills passed down to him from the old master.
Peter Holmes has developed
these skills and techniques and is recognised as one of the leading
paperweight makers today. As Peter learned these skills from the old master
he will now pass these skills on to the next generation of Kenneth Scott and
Andrew Holmes.
